Hello from Savannah, GA, USA
I wanted to show what I was working on, but can't. Italian Atala, the BB gave me fits, not designed for a new cartridge style crank assembly, a lot of metal had to be trimmed to make it work. Any Atala fans?

Welcome.
Sorry for newbie rules, but 10 posts over 2 days keeps the site almost completely free from those who would post stuff not genuinely related to cycling.
You may have visited C&V to see the interest in older bikes.
Atala as an Italian brand has an Italian BB standard. The cups have a different threading.
Love to see your pics. I own 5 vintage Italians, but no Atala.
Enjoy the site.
edit: As a heads up. If you modified the BB instead of simply getting the correct cups, expect some to think that a strange way to approach the issue.
Oh - nice collection. Many will want to see those - obviously many Paramount fans.
